Depends on the culture and the climate. I think the slave labourers in the Soviet Gulags never worked naked. As brutal as it was they were provided with clothing and most importantly winter clothing. They probably did in the Caribbean but not in the Southern states where it was considered offensive. In some cultures slaves such as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia went naked all the time.

In some instances, slaves were made to work without proper clothing but not necessarily naked. This varied depending on the time period, location, and the specific conditions imposed by the slave owner or overseer.
